WinterWerk

lovetempo, the brainchild of Mattie Safer (singer and bassist for Poolside and The Rapture). also check Felipe’s new album!

I gained access to fine-tune GPT-4o. It’s used in Thirdeyes to refine artist bios through a two-step process involving multiple OpenAI LLMs.

Rifling through my bag, the only thing I found was a hairnet that was holding some other photo gear. This seamed like a stretch, but at that point I didn’t have anything to loose.

And thus Gossamer was born.

straight shot. no editing besides adding the frame.

i quite like the vulnerability Portable is showing on this track — click for audio. there is, however a bit of discomfort with my slight vulnerability in pairing it here with my shot. truth be told, i was mostly interested in the tempo, tone and timbre of the instrumentation and Portable’s voice rather than the lyrical content

While the eclipse is quite literally something that’s impossible to put into words, I thought I thought these bits from The New Yorker offered something refreshing.

The video after the jump basically mirrors my interface with reality back in the partying days. After coming across it on my hard drive I decided to use it as a source for Runway’s Gen-1.

Notes on my discovering kuduro music through rapid fire exposure: a party at Elsewhere, a block party several days later and with Tyler Pope’s help. It’s interesting to learn about its African roots but the struggle to find authentic African representation online, highlights a digital divide. After the jump, Tyler’s EP and Boo Lean’s Nowadays set. (👈 pic to the left has no real relation to the post)

The goal: A simple edit of a video clip. The outcome: Traveling time and space back to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a performance in September of 2019.

I rarely get into a contemplative state at the ends of years. It’s often more of an Autumn thing for me. This year is somehow different. “Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore” complements my thoughts on where I’ve been and where I’m going.

Government investigators, using push notifications data to track contacts, are eroding personal privacy, with tech giants like Apple & Google gagged from revealing this. Senator Wyden, as he honorably does, reveals this digital-rights infringement.

The explosive expansion of created content has resulted in AI strolling into every corner of our mind, constantly. What consequences arise when it decides to meddle directly with your train of thoughts?

Terribly played out almost immediately after it appeared, Moloko’s song, “Sing It Back”, was massive that summer of ’99.

But it was the unique context of my first hearing it that sticks with me.

I’ve been wanting to do it for years, but the autumn colors hitting this season lit the fire that got me building out the raspi time lapse project I’d hidden from. Essentially I’m placing a Raspberry Pi + camera module in my window which faces west. Couple things about that view: there’s a Ginkgo tree […]

Bruce Sterling (Chairman Bruce) gave, as always, a compelling lecture at AI for All, a conference in Eindhoven. my notes follow the video.

I’ve gotten it out the door. The AI focused MVP built for Third Bridge Creative is up and running.

Dia Beacon is one of my favorite places anywhere. And the building itself is a large part of my fascination with and love for the place.

A video about Robert Irwin’s intervention in the building.

I started blogging on mechaneyes.com somewhere around 2004. It was super fun and rewarding … So wanting to reboot that habit, I’ve setup WinterWerk.
